[PATCH] md: replace magic numbers in sb_dirty with well defined bit flags



Instead of magic numbers (0,1,2,3) in sb_dirty, we have
some flags instead:
MD_CHANGE_DEVS
   Some device state has changed requiring superblock update
   on all devices.
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN
   The array has transitions from 'clean' to 'dirty' or back,
   requiring a superblock update on active devices, but possibly
   not on spares
MD_CHANGE_PENDING
   A superblock update is underway.

We wait for an update to complete by waiting for all flags to be clear.  A
flag can be set at any time, even during an update, without risk that the
change will be lost.

Stop exporting md_update_sb - isn't needed.
